The Hubble Deep UV Legacy Survey (HDUV)

The HDUV extends and builds on the few previous UV imaging surveys in the two GOODS/CANDELS-Deep fields to provide deep images over a total area of ~100arcmin^2^ in the two filters F275W and F336W. Our release also includes all the F275W imaging data taken by the CANDELS survey, which were aligned using a novel approach and combined with the HDUV survey data.

By reaching depths of 27.5-28.0mag (5{sigma} in 0.4" apertures), these are the deepest high-resolution UV data over such a large area taken to date. Such unique UV imaging enables a wide range of science by the community. A few of the main goals of the HDUV survey are as follows: (1) to provide a complete sample of faint star-forming galaxies at z~1-3; (2) to constrain the ionizing photon escape fraction from galaxies at z~2-3; and (3) to track the build-up of bulges and the disappearance of clumpy disk galaxies through reliable internal stellar population properties at sub-kiloparsec resolution out to z~3.
